Edi­to­r­ial Review: Fire­house has cre­ated posters for rock bands includ­ing Pave­ment, Pearl Jam, Beastie Boys, Madonna, Eric Clap­ton, Wide­spread Panic, Van Mor­ri­son and the Rolling Stones. Although the artists of the Fire­house Kus­tom Rockart Com­pany, aka Chuck Sperry and Ron Dono­van, have worked with numer­ous major rock bands, they have main­tained their street cred­i­bil­ity by fur­nish­ing posters for such events as Incred­i­bly Strange Wrestling, which mixes punk bands and Mex­i­can wrestlers. This book con­tains a rich sam­pling of their sig­na­ture silkscreen tech­nique that blends splen­did artistry with impec­ca­ble crafts­man­ship — an eye-popping col­lec­tion of the rock and roll posters and ephemera that made this stu­dio famous.
